If you think the navigation is unusable, you can not find anything, etc - YOU SHOULD share your thoughts, cause If you dont than I would not know about your problems, - would I...?!

Anyway, if you visit the home page by following this link: www.drumsoloartist.com, or by clicking on the logo in the top left corner - you can see the Free classifieds section on the left menu, like on the image below, click on the "Free Classifieds" and the menu will open...

And since we are on the subject, as you can see most of pages on drumsoloartist have the left navigation bar (the blue one) - and the forum does not. - So do you think it would be beneficial to add it to the forum also?? - Cause from what I understand most of the forum users dont ever go past the forum pages, so they are missing a lot of navigation right there...

PS: note that the forum will get a little slower because of that - not an issue for me personally, but can become for someone...

Ok, how about a control panel at the drum store where you would be able to upload, manage and track sales of your own products? - Like your own songs and solos? - Will that be interesting?

So, almost like an ebay like thing? But with tracks as well as real items? could work, yea. Something very hard to monitor tho. Might be worth somehow implementing ebay into it to help with the legality of things and the security of transactions.

I think it would be cool that (not necesserally on the forums) there would be a spot to discuss different genres of music and drumming. It would be called "The Musical Lounge" or something, and there would be different pages to different styles of music in it. Just a thought.

Remember. If you limit yourself to only doubling with your leading hand... Then... You'll be limiting yourself to only doubling with your leading hand...

PASHA/Ken,

Did you guys ever impliment the above? Seems like an interesting idea. If implimented, where is it, I might be looing in the wrong places.

Jonathan, you might consider starting a GROUP for beginning drummers. It could possibly be a niche that would interest many of the new readers. Who knows? If you do, I'd suggest defining "beginning drummers" as two years or less, of experience. Although that is simply a suggestion from me.

Seems like I had already hipped you to the Double Bass Group and the Jazz and More Group. You may or may not have interest in either. I know that when I started the Jazz and More Group, I really thought that I'd get some significant interest. However, even though I had several "reads" there hasn't been lots of dialog.

I believe part of PASHA's concept was, and still is, to offer something of quailty, to drummers of all experience levels.......and to make sure that all rthe eaders felt both welcome and appreciated.

My main motivation, as PASHA already knows, is to share my experiences with any other drummers who might be interested. I am certainly not a know-it-all......far from it .......but I am willing to share and treat all brother drummers with total respect.

What a neat idea Ken, I think I will have a go at it. I poked in the group area yesterday, there are some neat groups there. Is it ok if i put a plug in for the group in the Beginners Forum?

I may ask for some of your help while I set the group up. Oh! Side Bar! We are going to Nashville next weekend, it's my B day on the 10th. My wife wants to take her folks from the Philippines there to see the Grand Old Opre Center then yes, you guesed it, head to the mall I read that the Old Opre Mall is real neat.

Got to run, thanks for the feedback and ideas. This is a great site and Ken, you are always polite and your drum advice has been spot on and I thank you for it. You to PASHA, I am going to work rudiments open close style this week. Back to the basics for me.
